A GENTLEMAN’S LIBRARY

September 26, 2014
  • Share

A few weeks ago, I stopped by the gorgeous Hancock Park Tudor estate belonging to Hollywood media exec RS and his partner fab designer Tom Newman of Newman & Wolen Design.   Tom and I have become friends over the years – he designed my friend SN and BN’s home remodel years ago.  I Love Tom’s aesthetic, style, sense of architecture, and design.  He is awesome. Tom and RS moved into the house this year and I was lucky to be taken on a nice afternoon tour of this huge house by Tom himself. This blog post is all about his gentleman’s library.

About The Home

The home was built in 1927 and is 6100 square feet.  It is awesome.   The couple kept much if the original detail but just refreshed the the spaces to make them feel up-to-date.

What’s A Gentleman’s Library?

A library that has a masculine design. The library is decorated with darker jewel tones and rich-colored woods. Office furniture includes warm leather and printed fabric.

Inside The Library

One of the most charming rooms in the mansion for me is this little gentleman’s library right off the foyer.  Wood paneled, plaid drapery, built in bookshelves, velvet sofa and original carved stone fireplace make for a warm, cozy, somewhat regal and at the same time inviting room!  Makes me want to get off the computer, tablet and smart phone…curl up with a nice COCOCOZY throw blanket and open up a book and of all things…read the book!

Anyhooo here’s a look at this wonderful space.  A modern throwback…a classic space.

Thank you Tom for inviting me over and letting me snap a million photos!

Can’t wait to come over for a glamorous black-tie dinner party in the next few months…I look best in fall and winter and I have several black tie long gowns ready to go. TE has a nice tux too…so I’m sure he would love to come. Oh…sorry…just made up a party at Tom and RS’s house and then invited myself and boyfriend over…is that rude?

Anyhooo…will show you more of this grand home later. May have to go back and take a few more photos. Oops there I go again…inviting myself over!

Happy Friday!

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎 This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎
Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.
